Hi, my name is ___. I’m a member of the Caring Majority.* [share relationship to CDPAP, if any]. 

I’m calling to ask the Senator/Assemblymember to co-sponsor the Home Care Transparency Act # S9142 (Comrie)/A10537 (Gonzalez-Rojas). Is your Legislative Director or Chief of Staff available to talk to me about this?

IF Transferred to another staff member-Introduce yourself again and the bill info and then continue with

It has been a year since PPL took over CDPAP. New Yorkers have been plagued by one issue after another - lost pay, lost care, lost jobs, lost services and lost lives. Meanwhile, there has been almost no public oversight of this contract.

The Home Care Transparency Act would create common sense reporting requirements so that the public and state legislators know how PPL is spending $11 billion tax payer dollars meant for home care. 

Will the Senator/Assemblymember sign on as a co-sponsor to the Home Care Transparency Act? Will they speak directly with leadership on the need to pass the bill this session? 

Thank you for your help with this. Can you share the name and email contact for your legislative director or chief of staff, so we can follow-up on this?

Thanks again, for your support on this. We will follow-up by email as well. 

*If they ask who is Caring Majority: We are a grassroots home care advocacy organization in New York State.
